Curve XYZ tool?

4DeltaEDU

I am trying to create an airfoil section using airfoil data points X Y Z coordinates from excel spreadsheet. In Solidworks for e.g there is a tool Curve XYZ, where you can insert data and the points will draw automatically on the plane of your choice. Is there such a thing for Onshape? 

Many thanks!

Currently we don't have a way to input x,y,z co-ordinates to make curves.

I need the same thing.  I've been using Sketchup and there are plugins for importing .dxf and .dat files that I use to get airfoil curves into a model.

Hi... if you or somebody still have this problem:

Here you find a tool (concord) that converts xyz-coordinates to dxf and similar.
